CHARLES SUNDQUIST, OF GHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE.

IMPROVEMENT INCO MBINED MOSQUITO-BAR AND CLOTHES-DRIER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,723, dated October 30, 1877; application filed July 19, 1877.

The nature of my invention consists in the constructionand arrangement of a combined mosquito-bar and clothes-hanger, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a section of the same, and Fig. 3 shows the device inverted.

A represents the foot or base of my device,

which may be made of cast-iron, and of such size as to need no fastening but its own weight 5 but if made lighter, it should have suitable screw-holes for the passage of screws, to fasten it in place where desired.

This foot or base A is, in the center, provided with an elongated vertical hub, to, for the insertion of one end of a post, B, which is held therein by simply fitting closely, as shown. 0n the other end of the post B is secured an ornamental cap-piece, O, the lower portion of which has in its under side a series of radial grooves to receive the arms D D, said arms being pivoted in the inner ends of said grooves.

On the post B is also placed a movable flanged collar, E, for holding the arms D in horizontal position, when desired for use, said collar being then raised, as shown in Fig. 2,

and held by a pin, 7), passed through a hole in p the post. When not desired for use, the pin 1) is removed, the collar E drawn down, and the arms folded downward, as shown in Fig. 1. When the arms are thus raised the device may be used as a clothes-rack, or for exhibiting millinery or other goods, by having hooks attached to the arms; or it maybe used for supporting a mosquito or fly net, for protecting articles on the table.

- The post B may be removed from the base or foot A and reversed, when it mayfb'e suspended by a hook, d, from the ceil'ng, and a mosquito-net suspended on the arms, as shown in Fig. 8.

The device is cheap and simple, and can be put to many different uses about a house or store.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the reversible perforated post B, cap O, having radial grooves, as described, the pivoted arms D D, the sliding collar E, and the pin 12, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth. 4

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of J1me, 1877.

CHAS. SUNDQUIST.
